Tried Mozilla and event tried entering it through MY Computer no Luck
although that has worked in the past. Even added the site as a trusted
site on the firewall as well as the PC. Other PCs in the domain have
no problem. It seems local to a few machines Some windows 2k others xp
with all the recent updates. SHRM.org is one of the sites that is an
issue

Let's clarify what you meant there by "homepage". Your browser's
homepage (the page that displays when you start up the browser), or the
main page of the site you are visiting?

Other PCs? Does "in the domain" mean in your office or such?

So your computer is not the only one? You could have mentioned this up
front. Time to ask your IT department what is going on at the company's
firewall.

I've just visited http://shrm.org/ with no ill effects, with Firefox,
Opera, and IE6. There is a lot of silly JavaScript on that page, like
trying to stop me from right-clicking to copy images (which never works)
and trying to sniff what browser I am using (old ones.)

For me, Opera gets one of the two CPU threads on this 3GHz P4HT machine
running at or close to 100% for a few seconds when I click on any of the
links on the left below the 'search' box, and scrolling is horribly slow.
Changing 'focus' back to Opera after bringing a different program to the
'foreground' also makes Opera take a long time to re-draw the content.

A less powerful PC than this one would probably struggle to do anything on
that site. The pages don't 'validate' well.

Mine's a 3.2 GHz on a 7Mbps cable connection, so there's not much lag.
But you do have that right. The main page at shrm.org is just over a
half-megabyte. <lol!> Most surfers would give up and go for lunch.
